Helping You Lead a Happier, Healthier, More Productive Life

General Information About Counseling with Jeff Rose

The beginning of our work together will focus on my getting to know you so that I can understand what is troubling you and determine how I can help you. The work we do together will be tailored to your situation and your needs. We will address the connection between your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Additionally, it is important to explore and understand your personal history as it will help us gain insight into patterns that emerge throughout your life. This understanding will help you begin to gain control over your thoughts, feelings and behaviors which will ultimately lead to an increased sense of satisfaction in your life and relationships.

Throughout our work together, I will provide honest and direct feedback in a supportive and nurturing manner. I will help you learn how to problem solve and discover solutions to problems in your life that currently seem insurmountable.

Making the decision to begin therapy can be a difficult and confusing one. You may have succeeded through many challenges on your own and feel confused as to why you are suddenly struggling now. Perhaps you’ve always thought of therapy as something that’s for “crazy” people.

Therapy is used in many different ways for many different people.

Are you going through a difficult situation or time period in your life and could use some help and support?

Would you like to improve or maintain an important relationship in your life?.

Have you lost interest in enjoyable activities, having trouble sleeping, or had recent weight gain or loss?

Are you constantly on edge or irritable, having trouble concentrating, and find yourself worrying about life circumstances?

Some people find therapy beneficial to help them gain insight and support. Insight is important in regards to helping you identify certain patterns in your thoughts, behaviors, and choices that may be leading to a lack of satisfaction in your life. We all reach crossroads in our lives when we feel stuck. Therapy can provide you with the tools and motivation to make changes that otherwise seem overwhelming. You may find that therapy can help in identifying your goals and taking the steps to achieve them.

It takes strength and humility to know when you need help. When you are in the midst of a problem it may seem overwhelming or impossible to resolve. Talking to friends and family can be helpful but sometimes it is not enough. You may need the objective guidance of a therapist to help you problem-solve as well as to identify creative solutions to various problems in your life.
